Specitication forming partof LettersPatent No. 186,291, dated January16, 1877; application tiled December 16, 1876. Y

To all whom it 'may concern Be itknown that we, JOHN G. BAKER and T.HENRY ASBURY, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certainImprovements in Sad-Irons, of which the following is a speci'- `icationOur invention relates to the construction of that class of sad-irons,'inwhich the base of the iron is packed with re-clay or other equivalentnon-conducting material, and the object of our invention is to constructa cheap sad-iron of this class.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a vertical section of ourimproved sad-iron, showing the several parts connectedtogether 5 Fig. 2,thesame, showing the parts disconnected from each other Fig. 3, atransverse section 5 Fig. 41 a perspective view of the base, and Fig. 5a modication of part of our invention.

comparatively cool condition.

Two wrought-iron pins, a a, are cast to the closed ends of thehandle,these pins being passed through holes b in the plate D, and

subsequently riveted on ythe under side of the plate, which is thuspermanently secured `to the handle.

perforations,

, In the recess d o f the sad-iron are two projections, e e, the spacefbetween which is of a dovetail orT shape, and adapted to a similarlyshaped head haof a bolt H.

The head of the bolt is first adjusted to this space between theprojections e e, afterwhich the recess in the basefflsdiacked withfire-clay or other equivalent material. The plate D of the handle isthen adjusted to the top of the base, the stem of the bolt passingthrough an opening, i, yinthe said plate, after which the latter with(the handle is secured by a nut, m, adapted to thev bolt, when thesad-iron is complete.

A simple set-screw,`x, Fig. 5, may be used in place of the bolt, a plugheilig inserted in the threaded orice while the recess in the base isbeing packed, after which the plug may be withdrawn to make way for thescrew.

We claim as our inventionl. The combination of the base B, packed withnoncondncting material, with the handle A, and the intermediate plate D,connected to the said base, so as to be readily detached therefrom, asdescribed.

2. The combination ofthe perforated hollow handle, the pins a a cast tothe closed ends of the same, and the plate D.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
